Unites Himself With Archbishop
Walsh--The Times Stands Firm

Man-of-War's Offers.
LONDON, June 29--Cardinal Manning
writes to the Times protesting against its
circulation of the statement from Rome that
''the Irish mission of Mgr. Persico and Mgr.
Gualdi had been revoked at the instance of
Cardinal Manning and Archbishop Walsh,
of Dublin, and branding the latter two as
active promoters of Separatist intrigues."
The Cardinal says: II gladly unite myself
with Archbishop Walsh. He is but slightly
known in England, except in the descrip-
tions of those who are tanning the flames of
animosity between England and Ireland.
am known in England both to the ministers
of the crown and to the leaders of the oppo-
stion, and will leave it to them who well
know my mind to answer for me, and l. who
know the mind of Archbishop Walsh, will
answer for him. We are neither intriguers
nor Separatists "
In conclusion the Cardinal says: "If, sir
fess that / hold that resentment is some
times duty, and this is such time when
your words touch our highest responsibility
and infame more and more the heated con-
tentions between two peoples whom justice
and truth would still bind in peace and
unity. | ask you sir, as an acf of justice,
to give this as prominent a place in the
Times as you have unwarily given to the
unhappy imputatiOns."
THE TIMES STANDS FIRM.
The Times in an editorial excuses the first
charge which Cardinal Manning complains
of by saying that it had simply reproduced
the Reuter- Telegram Companys dispatch
from Rome. 1t assures the Cardinal that it
has no desire to meet the other charge by
either gloss or evasion. 1t would Judge
Archbishop Walsh by his own written and
spoken words. He was, in a very strict
sense of the word, a Separatist 1t was
sorry if it had wrongly been led to believe
that Cardinal Manning was a warm sup
porter of Mr.. Gladstones Separatist policy,
but if the facts were so no peculiar inter-
probation of language could alter them.
A DROUGHT AT BANTRY.
DUBLIN, June 29-The town of Bantry is
suffering from drought, and the inhabitants
have great difficulty in procuring water.
Capt. Blackburne, of her majesty's ship
Shannon, which is stationed in Bantry Bay
offered to furnish forty tons of condensed
water to relieve the towns wants, but the
board of poor law guardians met and re-
solved to decline to accept any favor from
the Shannon's Captain in consequence of an
insult he had offered the inhabitants in seiz-
ing Murphy's yacht for flying a green flag
on Jubilee day.
Three orders for the ejectment of tenants
on the Marquis of Lansdowne's Luggacurran
estate were obtained to-day. Lord LanS-
downes counsel said the tenants in question
would not be evicted if they paid their
rents.
William Murphy, member of Parliament,
has brought suit against Capt. Blackburn,
of the royal navy, for trespass in hauling
down and taking possession of the green flag,
which was raised on Mr. Murphy's yacht
in Bantry Bay on jubilee day.

pleased with the reception accorded him and
his brother, and is glad of the efforts to
materially advance Ireland, which he
hopes will meet with complete success.

dation stone of the new wing of the hospi-
tai for incurables at Donnybrook He was
